Last week a pair of raccoon hunters led federal agents to that truck, mired to its axles in soggy woods near Rudolph's trailer in Murphy, a hamlet tucked into the southwestern corner of North Carolina. By the weekend, the FBI had enough evidence to charge Rudolph with the bombing and offer a $100,000 reward. That evidence, investigators say, includes explosives residue in the truck and in a storage shed Rudolph had rented, fibers from a blond wig like the one a witness had seen a man remove as he ran from the bombing scene, and a folding shovel...
That same day--such is the cunning magic that sometimes hides out in the Olympics--America had its turn. Picabo Street, the supercharged performance artist from the Idaho hamlet of Triumph, streaked through the super-G course in 1:18:02. A few months ago, Street too was a spectator, having torn a ligament in her knee; in only her fourth race back, 11 days before, she had knocked herself out while whizzing through a course at 75 m.p.h. Now, like Satoya, she stood at the bottom of the course and, unlike Satoya, delivered an irrepressible commentary...

Survivors populate the tiny hamlet of Sam Dent, devastated by the loss of their children and unable to function as a community once again. The parents respond with combinations of anger and resignation, alternately praising and condemning Stevens for his intrusion into their close-knit community. Of those involved in the crash, only two remain: the simple-minded bus driver Dolores Driscoll (Gabrielle Rose) and local teenager Nicole Burnett (Sarah Polley). The rest, including Billy Ansell (Bruce Greenwood), who witnessed his children's death, stand powerless in the face of the tragedy...
...Rice, 56, is a lawyer, and O.S.U.'s campus was two hours away--too far to commute. Drawn to big-sky vistas and the rustling sound of wind through the cornstalks, they decided to live in the countryside midway between the two cities, buying a farm near Martinsville, a hamlet eight miles south of Wilmington. Though they had never thought about what to do with their acreage besides look at it, farmers began vying to lease the land, and Rice cut a deal with one to keep the place in production...
